Macron in CRISIS: Popularity PLUMMETS as France hit by riots - 400 injured
2018-11-19
[Express] EMMANUEL Macron’s popularity has taken another hit, according to a new poll, as the French President was hit by a weekend of chaos over his controversial fuel tax reforms which prompted major riots.

Just a quarter of those polled said they were satisfied with Mr Macron, according to an Ifop survey published in the Journal du Dimanche (JDD) on Sunday.

The French President’s approval rating - the amount of those satisfied by his performance - was down to 25 percent from 29 percent in October, according to the survey of almost 2,000 people between November 9 and 17.

It comes as Mr Macron faced a weekend of violent protests over his fuel tax hikes, with more than 400 people injured and one woman killed in the protests.

Around 288,0000 people took part in the protests by the "Yellow Vests" grassroots campaign, with furious demonstrators blocking roads across France.

#2  The purpose of recent massive government supported immigration is so criminal elite can have the power to loot their fellow country men through formal high taxation.

#1  Looting taxpayers to fund greater establishment riches is not a vote winner?!?

Who'd have thought.

The green religion is only for those rich enough to afford the huge negative consequences.
